Hello out there,
I'm new to this forem, maybe someone out there could
give me some advice regarding my camera. I have an OM4
which I dropped a week ago, it didn't land on anything
too hard, it was a wooden floor. Anyway since then it
has developed a fault, the mechanical 60 and B
settings work fine, but when in auto or manual mode,
the shutter speed in the display shows "2000" and
won't move, regardless of where the shutter speed dial
is. If the dial is set to 2000, or 1000, or 500 the
shutter will operate, but the timings aren't right,
1000 sounds like about 1/8 second and 500 sounds like
a second.
If the dial is set to anything other than those three,
the mirror flips up and won't go down again (when the
shutter is depressed) this can only be resolved by
switching to mechanical 60'th.
Everything else in the camera works ok, the spot
meter, the hi light and shadow buttons, the
memory/clear and the battery check.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with my
camera?
Does it sound terminal? I love my OM4 and would prefer
to have it repaired than have to buy something new.
Thanks for your help
Robert.
